Dubuffet, Jean (1901-85)
Jean Dubuffet was born in Le Havre. He studied painting briefly at the Academie Julian in Paris in 1918. He divided his career between business, music, and painting, resolving at last to become an artist. His first one-man show was in 1945. He was one of the major artists to emerge in France after the Second World War.
While he shares the Surrealists' interest in illustrating the psyche, his style is one of more primitive brutalism in contrast to the more refined canvases of the Surrealists in the 1920s and 1930s. He included sand and gravel in his paint to make gritty and highly textured surfaces. His drawing style has the clumsy naiveté of children's drawings. Since the 1960s, his compositions include boldly coloured abstract forms that suggest organic growth. |
